Yes I removed the chamber. I get no debris in the filter or box.

 

cost me 500 deductible, drove a new frontier for two weeks, have to keep it in the garage all the time now.....i see a dead one in the road i clap ...."chew on that asphalt little m-f"

 

Firn Disk, and new wheels + tires

 

Would love to see some color matched steelies on one of these LRs. The black looks good, just sayin'.

oh man, you guys will like this one. I didn't do anything except take it to the dealer this morning, let my experience be a warning to everyone. Finally got the axle nut recall remedy notice in the mail yesterday so I called to schedule an appointment. I get there this morning, guy tells me I haven't used my free services yet (I'm at 12.5k), yep I'm aware, I do all my own maintenance, so just here for the recall. 45 mins goes by and they call my name, service manager tells me there's been an "incident" with my truck, nice....

Porter apparently clipped my truck's front bumper on the chainlink fence in the back and scratches the shit out of my front bumper. Great! They're giving me a new front bumper and painting it, then installing it. They put me in a rental hybrid RAV4 that someone definitely chain-smoked in and they'll give me an update tomorrow on timeline. I told them I need the truck back Friday since I had planned on a trip this Saturday. I'll provide an update once I get my truck back. I get it, mistakes happen, but god damn am I annoyed LOL

 

Ooooof. That sucks man.

Tell them you want the old bumper, that way you have a spare.

 

Dang! Sounds like a very similar incident that happened to me too. I have a '23 LR OR and they gave me a smoked in rav4 too, go figure haha. I made do, and took the rav on a 2k+ mile road trip while my truck was getting repaired

 

oh yeah, I want it so I can cut one up for a hybrid bumper down the road. that was the first thing I told them was that they're giving me the old one LOL

 

Someone posted their LR with forest green wheels in the LR thread..Looks reeally good

 

On an associated note ... this is why I have 3 IKEA waterproof foldable carry-alls in the truck. The

$103 Viair 88P Portable Compressor Kit (12V, 120 Psi, Forup to 33" Tires)

Viair 88P, battery-jump, GPS, dashcam, bag of tools, tire deflator (etc) are all in the truck and I may need those "scram bags" anytime.

 

Who makes the wheel?

I'm personally going to give it a shot so we'll see how it goes....

 

I am sorry you have to deal with this BS. I do all my own maintenance even though it is free through 9/24. I have to now take it for this recall about “weld splatter” and I will examine my truck from bumper to bumper after they fix the recall and before I leave the dealership. I already had a bad experience with them right off that’s why I do all my own oil changes and stuff even while it’s still under warranty. Make them fix the damage RIGHT !!!!

 

I agree, I only take my vehicles to the dealer for warranty and recalls. When I bought the Tacoma it came with (free) oil changes for the life of the truck. Needless to say, I do my own oil changes
